Avuncular DNA Test
Determine if individuals are biologically related as aunt/uncle and niece/nephew through accurate DNA testing.
What is an Avuncular DNA Test?
An Avuncular DNA Test helps determine the biological relationship between a child and an alleged aunt or uncle. It is commonly used when the possible father is not available for paternity testing, and a sibling of the alleged father agrees to be tested instead.
This test compares the child’s DNA with that of the potential biological relative to calculate the probability of a relationship. Including the mother’s DNA sample, when available, can significantly improve the accuracy of the results.
Avuncular DNA testing is often used for legal cases, immigration applications, and personal confirmation. It is a scientifically validated solution when direct parent testing isn’t possible — delivering reliable answers from accredited laboratories.

Common questions about avuncular DNA testing
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is avuncular DNA testing?
Avuncular DNA testing can typically provide 90-98% accuracy, depending on the specific test and whether other family members are included in the testing. The more family members tested, the higher the accuracy of the results.
Can this test determine if we share one or both parents?
Yes, avuncular testing can help determine whether you share one or both parents with your alleged aunt/uncle. The test analyzes the amount of shared DNA to make this determination. Including additional family members in the test can provide more conclusive results.
What if the alleged aunt/uncle is deceased?
If the alleged aunt or uncle is deceased, we may be able to test other relatives such as their children (your potential cousins) or siblings (your potential parent or aunts/uncles) to establish a biological relationship. Our genetic experts can help determine the best testing strategy for your situation.
